Sweetmeats 2 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Maybe there's already a topic for this but I really enjoy the Prisoner of Azkaban Suite on The Essential Harry Potter by the City of Prague. Did Williams arrange that?Either way, anyone have a list of Suites he arranged but are only available from other conductors?Also, forgive any mistakes in terminology. Someone feel free to correct me if I have the phrasing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,368 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The concert arrangement of Han Solo and the Princess has never been conducted by Williams as far as I know. I have it on two different CDs, one by Paul Bateman/City of Prague, and one by Charles Gerhardt/National Phliharmonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'll ask it here, since I still don't know. Did Williams arrange all the music (extended Luke's First Crash, May the Force Be With You, etc.) in the Gerhardt Star Wars recordings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,368 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Marion's Theme KotCSIrina's Theme re-tooled KotCSUh, what? Williams performned those himself in concert many timesI'll ask it here, since I still don't know. Did Williams arrange all the music (extended Luke's First Crash, May the Force Be With You, etc.) in the Gerhardt Star Wars recordings?I don't think there's a definitive answer that can be linked to, but I always thought that the Luke's First Crash extension would be Gerhardt's idea. I dunno. May The Force Be With You is just a film cue from TESB that wasn't on the OST, there's nothing unique there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 As far as I'm aware, the original intention was to have "Mischief Managed" as written until the end of the "Window to the Past" segment, which segues into the last couple of minutes of the Hedwig concert arrangement.

pete 907 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I always thought the Accidental Tourist Love Theme from Richard Hayman's Best of John Williams CD on the Naxos label was arranged by Williams.I don't have the CD with me to check, but I remember hearing/reading somewhere that it was. It sure sounds Williams arranged it^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 From what I've understood from the liner notes by Williams himself, Gerhardt used Williams originals and arranged the cues together so that it would fit into a proper concert suite. Obviously, from what Williams as mentioned in more than one occasion, they had the composer's approval.Regarding "The Accidental Tourist", that's in fact arranged by Williams. He conducted that with the Boston Pops in the late 80's/early 90's, and was in the program of his 1993 Japanese tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The new concert version of "Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra." I'm dying to know what Williams did with that. Apparently now its ending is similar to "The Forest Battle" concert version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds "bigger" than the score and perhaps would be out of place in the original cd, but I wish it was recorded in some compilation. It really is lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its grandeur isn't a match to the bucolic nature of the film, but as a piece on itself is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also apparently rearranged Parade of the Slave Children once, but it's not seen the light of day (yet).The concert arrangement of Han Solo and the Princess has never been conducted by Williams as far as I know. I have it on two different CDs, one by Paul Bateman/City of Prague, and one by Charles Gerhardt/National PhliharmonicI thought Williams said he can't even recall writing that one. Sounds like it was a Gehardt version of a film cue to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,368 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's a true concert arrangement, starting off exactly like the "Han Solo and the Princess" file cue, but then seguing to concert type material including Leia's Theme to finish off.
